Chapter 1 Rebirth

AD 199, the fourth year of Jian'an.

Yuan Shao surrounded Gongsun Zan in Yijing City.

In March, Gongsun Zan was ambushed and was defeated and fled back to the city.

Yuan Shaojun dug a tunnel to the Yijing City Tower, set fire to the wooden pillars, and the Yijing City Tower collapsed, and Yuan Shaojun drove straight in.

The heavy curtains hanging from the beams were ignited, and the scorching heat made people's cheeks burn.

Gongsun Yan sat dumbly in a pool of blood, the child's cries were so shrill and shrill that it hurt his eardrums.

She is patriotic, dedicated, law-abiding, and has not had a single violation record while driving for three years.

Why do we have to face such a scene when we wake up?

Gongsun Yan stared blankly at the middle-aged man a few steps away.

He cried and laughed crazily, pulled the simple sword out of the body of a beautiful woman, and then walked towards the girl in yellow who was crying in the corner.

About three years old, a boy with horns pierced was lying next to the body of a beautiful woman, crying and shaking the body, trying to wake up the dead woman.

"Father, please don't." The girl in yellow cried and struggled to crawl back, "Please spare us."

"Ajin, don't be afraid, father is doing this for your own good." Gongsun Zan, a middle-aged man, smiled sickly and wiped the tears from his face.

Gongsun Zan once defeated Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, and captured Liu Yu's family. After several humiliations, he beheaded Liu Yu's family, old and young, on the streets of Jicheng City.

Now that Yuan Shao's army has invaded Yijing, Gongsun Zan knows that his defeat is certain and there is no chance of escape.

Rather than letting the family members be captured and the beautiful wives and daughters being humiliated and abandoned in the market, it would be better to take their lives now and save them from suffering.

The fire was dancing and the smoke was billowing. Gongsun Zan held the sword with an expressionless face and walked slowly towards the girl in yellow who was leaning against the wall and retreating.

"Your mother is already waiting for us." The man raised his bloody sword and gestured towards the corpses lying on the ground, "I will wait for my father to send you away first, and then ask Ayan and Acheng to come down. You are the big one."

Sister, please follow your younger sister and younger brother below."

Finished speaking.

The long sword in his hand mercilessly penetrated the chest of the girl in yellow.

"Father!" The girl in yellow slumped to the ground, blood gushed out from her mouth and nose, her convulsing fingers twitched, and she grabbed the long sword piercing her body, "Rare... spare..."

Before she finished speaking, the girl's head dropped heavily towards Gongsun Yan, who was sitting on the ground blankly, her mouth moved, and she let out one last weak breath.

"escape……"

Sitting on the ground blankly, Gongsun Yan watched the murdered girl in yellow exhale her last breath, holding on to the sword and not letting go until her death. The sharp blade almost cut off her green fingers.

Her beautiful cat eyes slowly lost focus and solidified, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

Like a bucket of cold water being poured on the twelfth lunar month, Gongsun Yan was shaken.

The desire to survive made her adrenaline surge, and she almost jumped up from the ground, her mind spinning rapidly, thinking about ways to escape.

The extra memory fragments in my mind are messy and I have no time to sort them out.

Years of experience in horror games told her that if she ran away blindly in this situation, she would most likely be cornered by a tall assailant. With her strength, she would never be able to defeat the tall and strong opponent, and her chances of survival were extremely low.

The only way is to take it by surprise, give it a try, and make the opponent temporarily lose mobility.

Gongsun Yan lowered her head and looked at the simple straight skirt on her body. She quickly raised her hand to fumble around and found a golden phoenix hairpin on the top of her hair. While the man's attention was still on the dead girl in yellow, she pulled out her hair.

The hairpin is secretly hidden in the sleeve.

Looking at his dead eldest daughter, Gongsun Zan shed another line of tears. Blood was thicker than water. The eldest daughter still wanted to save her younger siblings before she died. How could he not kill his wife and daughter with his own hands and not be heartbroken?

But his actions did not stop. He firmly believed that it was better for the family to be reunited than to have his wife and children captured and humiliated.

So without any hesitation, he squatted down and spread the fingers of the girl in yellow one by one.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and the rebel army attacking Yi Jing is about to come. The sooner we send the little girl and Yao'er away, the less suffering they will suffer.

Finally pulling out the sword blade, Gongsun Zan stood up with the sword in hand.

He turned to look at his beloved little daughter Gongsun Yan.

Ayan was the prettiest of all his children. Under the firelight, the porcelain-white girl's eyebrows were as beautiful as a jade sculpture.

She stood blankly, watching him motionless, as if she had accepted her fate.

If such a beautiful child was left alive in the hands of the rebels outside, what would happen to him would be heartbreaking and unspeakable.

He really couldn't imagine it.

"Ayan, be good." Gongsun Zan comforted softly, approaching step by step.

correct.

Just be obedient and don’t run away!

Don't cry, don't be afraid, just endure it and you won't have to suffer again.

Gongsun Zan raised his sword high.

But the sword failed to fall.

The sharp hairpin pierced his throat first.

It was a gift he personally gave to his youngest daughter at the Jiji ceremony.

Gongsun Zan watched in disbelief as Gongsun Yan dropped the blood-stained hairpin as if it was hot, picked up the crying boy on the ground, and rushed out the door without looking back.

Covering his throat, blood welled up. He coughed a few times, staggered a step forward, swung the sword in his right hand weakly for a few times, and then dropped it to the ground.

Run! Run! Run!

Gongsun Yan's mind went blank. She didn't dare to recall the touch and sound of a long hairpin piercing a living person's body. She followed instinct and picked up the frightened boy. She used all her strength and ran out the door without looking back.

She felt like her hair was trembling, and she ran with the voiceless boy in her arms like a life-saving straw. All the sounds around her disappeared, except for her own "thumping" heartbeat.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the raging flames surrounded it with its claws.

The mansion was in a mess, with unruly servants and waiters stealing property and fabrics and fleeing in all directions.

Following the chaotic memories in his mind, Gongsun Yan walked through the garden and ran towards the back corner door.

The blazing flames were so close, and the billowing black smoke choked her that she couldn't breathe. She lowered her body and kept running forward.

Close, close...

Just a little more and you can escape.

finally.

There was silence all around.

Before the wall could withstand the fierce fire and completely collapse, Gongsun Yan stepped out of the door.

She staggered some distance away from the fire. Like a deflated balloon, she fell to her knees and coughed violently with her forehead on the ground.

The child in his arms fell to the side, his face was black and gray, and he seemed to have fainted.

From traveling through time and witnessing a murder, to carrying a child through a fire scene, it was all supported by one breath.

Now that his anger was gone, Gongsun Yan felt that his limbs were as soft as noodles and he couldn't move, and his lungs were burning with pain.

"Beep──"

Just as she was gasping for breath, a series of sudden electronic beeps sounded in her head.
